Discreet fountain in Paris, designed in 1708 by architect Jean Beausire
Architect Jean Beausire designed the Colbert fountain in 1708. At the time, the monument was privately owned and used to supply water to the hotel at number 18 rue de Vivienne. However, in 1713, the fountain was ceded to the city. Since then, it has been completely renovated, but its superb details have been preserved. Indeed, the beautiful mascaron with a man's head through which the water flowed is still visible, as is the triangular pediment bearing the coat of arms of Paris. The work is well worth a look, and is listed as a Monument Historique.
